BLUES

Every day, we have the blues. Thousands of recordings, covering the entire spectrum of vintage blues; from the very first blues record to be made, to the electric blues of the 1940’s and on. From the well-known to the obscure. Here you will find the full recorded works of nearly every blues artist to record during the Halcion days of the “pre-war” period.

Gospel

“Up Above My Head I Hear Music In The Air” (Sister Rosetta Tharpe & Mary Knight)

Part of the roots of Soul Music; from the earliest recorded Spirituals from the late 19th century through to the Reverends and their Congregations of the 1920’s and on to the Vocal Groups of the 30’s and 40’s and the huge Gospel sound of the 40’s and 50’s.

JAZZ

“The World's Jazz Crazy And So Am I” (Ma Rainey) Ma’s not on her own and there’s plenty here to keep her and her fellow jazz fans happy. From the earliest recordings through to the revival of the ‘40s. From New Orleans to Chicago and all in between.

OLD-TIMEY

Ballads, Blues, Rags, Reels Jigs and Waltzes. Fiddles, banjos and guitars aplenty bringing tales of railroads, courtin’, rye, huntin’, heroes, villains, “pictures from life’s other side” and so much more. The roots of Country, Western Swing and Rockabilly.
